URGENT: Amber Alert Issued for 3-Year-Old Nola Dinkins – Abducted at Gunpoint on Gender Road
A mother’s worst nightmare became a horrifying reality in just seconds. On an otherwise ordinary day, terror struck when three-year-old Nola Dinkins was abducted at gunpoint outside her mother’s car along Gender Road. The brazen and chilling kidnapping unfolded in broad daylight, and now, as a community reels in shock and heartbreak, law enforcement is in a race against time to find her.
According to eyewitnesses and police reports, the suspect is described as a bald man in his 40s, wearing a black hoodie and gray shorts. He approached Nola and her mother with a gun drawn and snatched the toddler as she stood beside the vehicle. He then forced the helpless child into a rusty black SUV, which quickly fled the scene. Behind the wheel was an unidentified white female accomplice, whose description remains limited at this time.
Nola, who stands approximately 3 feet tall, was last seen wearing a white shirt and black leggings. Her small stature and innocent demeanor made her especially vulnerable—no match for the force that took her away in moments. Family and friends describe Nola as a bubbly, sweet-natured little girl with a heart-melting smile and boundless energy. She loves cartoons, cuddles, and her favorite stuffed bunny, which now lies abandoned in the backseat of the family car.
Police and federal authorities are working urgently to track down the suspects and recover Nola safely. Surveillance footage is being reviewed from surrounding businesses, and an Amber Alert has been issued across the region. Tips are being followed, but officials are pleading with the public for any additional information. Even the smallest detail—a vehicle seen speeding, a license plate partial, a suspicious couple in a store—could be the key to bringing Nola home.
This abduction has shaken the local community to its core. Parents cling tighter to their children. Strangers cry for a family they’ve never met. Churches, schools, and neighbors are joining forces to spread Nola’s photo and raise awareness. Posters line storefronts. Social media is ablaze with updates and heartfelt pleas. The urgency is palpable.
As search efforts continue through the night, our thoughts and prayers are with Nola’s family, particularly her mother, who witnessed the unimaginable. In the span of a heartbeat, her child was stolen from her arms by violent hands. The grief is unspeakable. The silence from Nola’s empty car seat is deafening.
If you have seen anything suspicious, especially involving a rusty black SUV, or individuals matching the suspect descriptions, do not hesitate—call 911 immediately or contact your local law enforcement agency. Time is of the essence.
We hold on to hope. We demand justice. We pray for the safe return of a precious little girl who deserves to be in the arms of her mother tonight. And until she is home, we will not stop searching. We will not stop sharing. We will not stop believing.
Bring Nola home.
